[@robertoortiz85]

The two green wire plug its actually for the cruise control.

[@windedwarriorsracing9722]

i expanded my race team and am attempting this swap on the new car before the next race. thanks for the videos.

[@forcefedhatch]

Hey your welcome!! And best of luck to you on the expansion!!

[@joevincent383]

Hey man, where is the other wires for the clutch safety switch? Any idea? I found the red/blue white/red one but can’t find another harness

[@forcefedhatch]

It’s up in the harnesss, I had to dig around for mine. I’ll check again today if I can and see if I didn’t wind up bypassing it..

[@joevincent383]

@@forcefedhatch any luck on that harness?

[@forcefedhatch]

@@joevincent383 I had all of the plugs in my factory dash harness to add the neutral safety switch and the brake switches. Just had to unplug the jumpers and plug them into the pedal assembly.

[@johnlucero8237]

Did you have to tune the ecu or was it just replacing the harness sufficient?

[@forcefedhatch]

I did run the car with the auto ecu just fine without a tune but it does have a torque setting between shifts that seemed problematic, also the speedo was never correct. Eventually I did tune the car for the manual and turn off all of the automatic switches.. I do have a video I posted that shows what was done for the swap settings, especially for the speedo calibration. Unfortunately if you don’t have the SCT proracer or comparable software to tune it yourself it isn’t any real help to you.

link for the hood?

[@forcefedhatch]

It’s actually a stock 99-01 cobra hood with a forged carbon fiber wrap.

[@tedbear8168]

What is the actual difference in fuel mileage with the manual 5 speed ? The 4 speed is crazy good for a factory trans but it eats gas on the highway at 65 at 2k rpm

[@forcefedhatch]

Ya know I’m not sure, I would imagine it would be much better!

[@casper2304]

@Forcefedhatch where are you located if you don't mind me asking?

[@forcefedhatch]

I’m in southern Ohio, near Dayton.

[@casper2304]

I was just wondering if you would be interested in selling the valve body and whatever I need to convert my transmission to full manual But I live in Florida

[@forcefedhatch]

@@casper2304 yeah I absolutely would sell it once it’s all removed.

[@Tacticoolpapi]

So you know if its possible to use the v6 pedal assy on a gt for this swap ? Subscribed. Dont mind the 4r70w but if I can upgrade to a t56 in the future. Subscribed.

[@forcefedhatch]

@@Tacticoolpapi yep, all the pedal assemblies are the same!

[@althepalr6812]

Would this be the same process for a 3v mustang?

[@forcefedhatch]

It absolutely should be, I would assume so!

[@abomlk6710]

Hello sir can i ask you somthing? I swaped my car mustang 98 gt swap to manual and I want to turn on the cruise control, knowing that before the swap it was working I have tried change the ECU to the manual ECU and did not benefit anything Sorry my english not very good 🫣

[@forcefedhatch]

To be honest I’m not sure on that one, I actually have full control even of cruise control on mine. It could be as simple as a wire or the vehicle speed sensor not sending the signal..
